That’s a mighty convincing argument, RPS. No doubt Mr. Ice has a ton of stories. I’m sure your time in stir will fly if you stop, collaborate and listen.
Here’s the deal. Around 1985 I saw G N’ R play a gig at the Roxy. A band called Lions and Ghosts was opening for them and a girl I had been seeing wanted to see them. They played and then GNR followed. Here comes Axl in assless chaps with his butt hanging out. Not only was he an arrogant talker between songs but I had no interest in seeing his bare ass. I vehemently do not want to ever be anywhere near his ass again. They then got big and famous but my distaste for them never changed. I mean, Slash is a great guitarist and all. As for the rest, my god it’s like being asked do you want to be burned or drowned? Shot or electrocuted? I respectfully decline to answer.
I don’t blame you, Sheila. Not an easy decision. Though it appears there are others who share your opinion on Mr. Ice. Might the Vanilla One actually win?
That’s an interesting dilemma you present this week. I have had some prior experience with two of your nominees. I spent quite a bit of time with GNR and was actually present for the “Rocket Queen Riot” in St. Louis which precipitated that picture. I also worked for Mr. Ice on a spring break tour that encompassed Daytona Beach. Since that was one of the easiest gigs I had due to the fact he spent a lot of time in his room with “Downtown Julie Brown” discussing world politics he’s my selection. He’s an amusing guy.
These are the stories I live for Daniel. Pump them into my veins!
You know, I remember hearing about the Rocket Queen Riot and just watched a clip of it to refresh my memory. Axl leaping into the audience and taking a swing at a guy was pretty intense! (Not to mention what happened after).
I’m still laughing about your Vanilla Ice story. Him and Julie Brown? Hilarious!
Yeah, that was unexpected. We had to extricate him from that, throw the band on the bus and get them across the state line to avoid the possibility of the tour being stopped at that point. The picture was taken later.

The questions won't always be easy, I'm afraid. Welcome to the jungle.
Yikes, I wouldn’t want to be alone with any of them. But Mr. Ice seems the least of a bad bunch.
